Do not be put off by the rather unpleasant entrance, inside this is a delightful pub with heaps of character overlooking the river. Being a Sam Smiths pub there is a lack of choice of drinks. I ordered an Old Brewery at £6, it was OK. They have a large exterior terrace with great river views. Even if you are not a fan of Sam Smiths I would recommend you visit this pub, even if for only one drink.

Lovely pub to pop into for a drink or two. The pub itself is well maintained and feels welcoming. The location is beautiful. I have been several times now and always had a generally good experience. I’ve eaten a few times here and it’s on the more expensive side. I’d recommend heading to town of ramsgate nearby for better value food. Bathrooms pretty clean, and the outside seating is lovely in the summer! Was pretty hot and stuffy inside though in the winter 🥵 However on my last visit there was only one bartender behind the bar and a queue of around 10 people waiting to be served, that being said, the staff are always very friendly!

Great historic pub. Lots of outdoor seating and a great view of the river and boats. Services are a bit unique u have to order food and drinks at the bar on the main floor and then tell them which table number you are at. They have all the classics like fish and chips etc.it took a while to get the food which was good tho. great beer selection we had a bitter and a stout which were excellent 👌💂🐟🍻

I came for dinner and drinks this evening with my friend. We were warmly welcomed by Brian in the restaurant upstairs and his enthusiasm and attentive service really made our evening. The food was fantastic - we had the fish and chips and the Korean burger and fries. For a mid-January evening, the atmosphere was fun with groups of friends catching up. The views of the river at night were gorgeous. All the staff were friendly and we will definitely be back!

A lovely pub; shame that it’s a Sam Smith’s. Greta pints and great view, nice food and nice darts board. The Greek guy behind the bar was very lovely and helpful!
